Running thoughts: Knicks 108, Pacers 101

Here are my running thoughts from the Pacers’ 108-101 loss to the New York Knicks Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.

It’s the Pacers’ only visit to MSG this season, unfortunately. It’s not one of the best facilities, but it is historical and often brings out the best in the players. Indiana lost both visits last season, by seven and six points, respectively. Myles Turner,…

Running thoughts: Pacers 124, Cavaliers 107

Here are my running thoughts from the Pacers’ 124-107 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night at Quicken Loans Arena.

Entering their first matchup of the season, the Pacers have lost seven straight regular season games at The Q. Bojan Bogdanovic opening the game on LeBron. What could go wrong? … 10 seconds into the game, LeBron scored on a layup (and missed the free…

Running thoughts: Pacers 101, Kings 83

Here are my running thoughts from the Pacers’ 101-81 win over the Sacramento Kings Tuesday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Things are very different around here since George Hill was on the team in 2015. Just three players still around — Myles Turner, Joe Young, and Glenn Robinson III — and new uniforms, a new court, and new public address announcer. Hill was the final…

First game during a six-day stretch with four games in three different cities. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich spoke highly of Pacers guard Cory Joseph, who was drafted 29th overall in 2011 by San Antonio. Nate McMillan on Myles Turner, who missed his fifth straight…

Running thoughts: Thunder 114, Pacers 96

Here are my running thoughts from the Pacers’ 114-96 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Classy move by the Thunder to recognize Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis on the video board before the game. It took George 2:22 seconds to complain to the officials. He was called for a foul, and then another one two minutes later. (As you’ll…

Running thoughts: Trail Blazers 114, Pacers 96

Let’s try something new.

Here are my running thoughts from the Pacers’ 114-96 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Pacers wore their blue (Icon) uniforms for the second consecutive game, and so the Trail Blazers were in white. So good to see Brooke Olzendam, the Pacers’ former sideline reporter. I also had the chance to connect with Indy native…
